Participating children will be divided into two groups, one will play common games while the other play a specially designed game that can help fight ADHD. Children will play their assigned games for 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. Except for gaming, there were no prescriptions used during the study.

After 4 weeks, the study found that kids undergoing video game therapy actually outperformed on tests of attention.
